Steps:
- In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add green onions and jalapenos and saute until tender, about 2 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sauteing.
- Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, season with salt and pepper to taste and add chicken breasts if using (otherwise wait to add rotisserie chicken until the end). Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes (cook time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts).
- Reduce burner to warm heat, remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then shred chicken and return to soup. Stir in cilantro and lime juice, and rotisserie chicken now if using.
- Add avocados to soup just before serving (if you don't plan on serving the soup right away, I would recommend adding the avocados to each bowl individually, about 1/2 an avocado per serving). Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream if desired.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH LIME AND AVOCADO
When I lived in France, in the '80s and early '90s, I hardly ever ate avocados. Those sold in the markets were smooth, thin-skinned varieties grown mostly in Israel. They were watery, not as creamy or nutty-tasting as Haas avocados, the dark, pebbly-skinned variety that we get in California. "Poor man's butter," they used to call avocados when my father was a child. (Now they would more aptly be described as "rich man's butter.") Simple Mexican soups like this one often include avocado, which is diced or sliced and added to the soup when it's ladled into bowls.

Tips:
- To make the most flavorful broth, use a combination of chicken bones and meat. You can also add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions to the pot for extra flavor.
- If you don't have any chicken bones, you can use a store-bought chicken broth. Just be sure to choose a low-sodium broth so that you can control the amount of salt in the soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables like corn, zucchini, or bell peppers to the soup. You can also add different herbs and spices to taste.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. Just mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir it into the boiling soup. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, or until the soup has thickened to your liking.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, and tortilla chips.
Conclusion:
Chicken soup with lime and avocado is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
